Chapter 95: The World’s Reaction
The resignation of Gumua’s president sent a shockwave across the globe.
What had begun as a localized protest in a small West African nation had transformed into something much larger—an upheaval that captured the attention of every major power, institution, and economic bloc around the world.
As the sun rose over Washington, D.C., the situation was already dominating headlines. Inside the White House Situation Room, the President of the United States sat surrounded by his top national security aides, eyes fixed on a live satellite feed of Gumua’s capital.

"Yes, sir. The former president has officially stepped down. There’s no military intervention. The civilian population is... celebrating."
The CIA director interjected.
"But we have reason to believe this wasn’t organic. Someone with serious operational power was definitely behind it."
The President raised an eyebrow. "An unknown entity, huh?"
The CIA director adjusted his glasses. "The individual or organisation didn’t pull the trigger. But they loaded the gun and handed it to the right person."
